Last week’s eighth-grade promotion exercises were a time to remember for 126 students at Walter Woodward School.

The May 28 event kicked off with William Lair and Katherine Nguyen, who was one of 18 from the Class of 2014 to earn high academic honors – in particular, those who maintained a perfect 4.0 grade point averages for the past year – leading the Pledge of Allegiance.

The Woodward Choir performed the “Star Spangled Banner” followed by Principal Sherrie Jamero welcoming family, friends and special guests attending the special event held in the Multipurpose Building.
